17 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the sensing system comprises a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) cameras and a projector.

3

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the plurality of 3D cameras are configured to be calibrated in response to repositioning the sensing system.

4

4. The system of claim 1, wherein, when executed, the at least one application further causes the at least one computing device to at least determine a specific item of the plurality of incoming items to be placed in an unoccupied space of the layout configuration.

5

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the at least one computing device is configured to verify that the specific item of the plurality of incoming items has been placed in the unoccupied space of the layout configuration based at least in part on subsequent point cloud data obtained from the sensing system after the specific item has been placed in the loading space, the subsequent point cloud data representing an updated cross-section of the loading space.

6

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the layout configuration corresponds to a representation of a layout of items stacked within the cross-section of the loading space.

7

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the item data associated with the plurality of incoming items is received via a conveyor sensor located on a conveyor system used to transport the plurality of incoming items to the loading space.

8

8. The system of claim 1, wherein, when executed, the at least one application further causes the at least one computing device to at least identify a sequence of a plurality of incoming items to be loaded into the loading space, the sequence being based on item data of the plurality of incoming items and the layout configuration.

10

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the item loading system comprises a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) cameras and a projector.

11

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising calibrating the plurality of 3D cameras in response to repositioning the item loading system.

12

12. The method of claim 9, further comprising determining, via the at least one computing device, an unoccupied space of the loading configuration to place the item according to an optimization function.

13

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising verifying that the item has been placed in the unoccupied space based at least in part on subsequent data obtained from the item loading system after the item has been placed in the loading space, the subsequent data representing an updated cross-section of the loading space.

14

14. The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving, via the at least one computing device, the item data via a conveyor sensor located on a conveyor system used to transport the item to the loading space.

15

15. The method of claim 9 further comprising identifying a sequence of a plurality of incoming items to be loaded into the loading space, the sequence being based on item data of the plurality of incoming items and the loading configuration.

17

17. The system of claim 16, wherein determining that the sensing system needs to be repositioned is further based at least in part on at least one of a completion of an item wall or a detected error in placement of an item in the cross section of the loading space.

18

18. The system of claim 16, wherein, when executed, the at least one application further causes the at least one computing device to generate another notification that includes an identification of a next item in the sequence and a location of placement of the next item within the loading space.

19

19. The system of claim 18, wherein, when executed, the at least one application further causes the at least one computing device to verify that the next item in the sequence has been placed in the location of placement within the loading space based at least in part on point cloud data obtained from the sensing system, the point cloud data being obtained after the next item has been placed within the loading space, the point cloud data representing an updated cross section of the loading space.

20

20. The system of claim 16, wherein the item data associated with the plurality of incoming items is received via a conveyor sensor located on a conveyor system used to transport the plurality of incoming items to the loading space.
